We present an approach to find the branching rules for the pair $\\mathfrak{g}\\supset\\mathfrak{h}$. According to an idea of Zhelobenko the information on restriction to $\\mathfrak{h}$ of all irreducible representations of $\\mathfrak{g}$ is contained in one associative algebra, which we call the \\emph{branching algebra}. We use an \\emph{essential semigroup} $\\Sigma$, which parametrizes some bases in every finite-dimensional irreducible representations of $\\mathfrak{g}$, and describe the branching rules for $\\mathfrak{g}\\supset\\mathfrak{h}$ in terms of a certain subsemigroup $\\Sigma'$ of $\\Sigma$. If $\\Sigma'$ is finitely generated, then the semigroup algebra corresponding to $\\Sigma'$ is a toric degeneration of the branching algebra. We propose the algorithm to find a description of $\\Sigma'$ in this case. We give examples by deriving the branching rules for $A_n\\supset A_{n-1}$, $B_n\\supset D_n$, $G_2\\supset A_2$, $B_3\\supset G_2$, and $F_4\\supset B_4$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-10T15:32:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "branching rules", "essential semigroups", "semisimple complex lie algebra", "finite dimension", "semisimple subalgebra" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
